ni Zel Fernandez | April 30, 2022

Batay sa inilabas na opisyal na pahayag ng Department of Education (DepEd) kahapon nang Biyernes, Abril 29, aprubado na ng Kalihim ng Edukasyon sa isinagawang joint Execom-Mancom meeting ang rekomendasyon ng Regional Directors at Division Superintendents na payagan ang mga guro na hindi mag-report on-site sa Mayo 2 hanggang 13.

Batay ito sa pagsasaalang-alang ng interes ng serbisyo at ng teaching force, na inihain sa pamamagitan ng Governance and Operations Strand.

Kaugnay nito, halos karamihan ng mga guro na tinatayang nasa 640,000 ay inaasahang maglilingkod sa pambansa at lokal na eleksiyon sa Mayo 9.

Kasabay nito, gumagawa ng mga paghahanda ang mga guro at mga paaralan sa bansa para sa mga aktibidad kaugnay ng eleksiyon at ng mga lugar ng pagbobotohan o presinto bago ang araw ng eleksiyon.

Gayundin, magkakaroon ng agarang post-election activities sa mga eskuwelahan at ng mga guro na nakatalaga para sa eleksiyon.

Samantala, ang mga gurong hindi kabilang sa darating na halalan ay inaasahang patuloy na mag-aasikaso ng mga gawain kabilang ang pagtapos ng mga school forms, paghahanda ng mga instruksiyunal na material o learning plans, at ebalwasyon ng mga outputs/portfolios ng mga estudyante.

Ang pagpapatupad ng naturang desisyon ay sang-ayon sa atas ng kalihim sa Governance and Operations at ang Curriculum and Instruction strands na magbigay ng mga naaangkop na patnubay sa mga field units nito.

Kasabay ng F2F classes... Physical Work Immersion sa Senior High – Briones

ni Zel Fernandez | April 27, 2022

Isinusulong ng Department of Education sa mga Senior High School students ang physical work immersion na posibleng isagawa sa darating na pasukan ngayong taon.

Ayon sa DepEd, ang muling pagbabalik ng physical work immersion sa mga Senior High School students ay bilang bahagi ng pinalalawak pa ngayong face-to-face classes sa bansa, matapos ang halos dalawang taong online at distance learning dulot ng pandemya.

Matatandaan na ang implementasyon ng physical work immersion na bahagi ng Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) track sa SHS ay sinuspende sa kasagsagan ng COVID-19 noong 2020.

Ani Education Sec. Leonor Briones, “We are strongly suggesting that Work Immersion should be implemented for the Senior High School learners as they are nearest to accomplishing their postsecondary goals and dreams.”

Giit pa ng kagawaran, mahalagang maibalik ang work immersion sa Senior High School upang mas mahasa pa ang kaalaman ng mga Grade 11 at 12 students, bilang kahandaan sa kolehiyo at kalaunan sa kanilang pagtatrabaho.

DepEd partners with SM Supermalls to promote anti-Covid 19 reminders amid back to school efforts

by Info - @Brand Zone | April 26, 2022

April 5, 2022 – DepEd, along with sole local partner SM Supermalls and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), recently concluded the BIDA Kid Program – a campaign tasked to relay anti-Covid 19 safety reminders following the expansion of face to face classes. Held at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall and attended by guests such as DepEd Secretary Leonor M. Briones, DOH Secretary Dr. Francisco Duque III, DepEd Undersecretary Wilfredo Cabral, DepEd Assistant Secretary Malcolm Garma, DepEd Undersecretary Annalyn Sevilla, DepEd Director Roger Masapol, and USAID Mission Director Ryan Washburn, the BIDA Kid Program was launched in support of the Department of Health’s efforts to reopen schools safely this incoming school year.

“As the government pushes forth with getting all students safely into the classroom, it has been our top priority to help provide the necessary protection they need against Covid-19. Our pediatric vaccination sites will remain open to cater to the vaccination needs of our children aged 5 to 11 and 12 to 17. We assure you that we remain committed to providing a safe, convenient, and fun vaccination experience for the kids and their family members and friends,” said Bien Mateo, SM Supermalls SVP for Operations.

With over 9.4M jabs and 1.2M pedia jabs administered since April 2021, SM Supermalls continues to serve as the government’s largest private-sector partner in its vaccination efforts. In line with their commitment to serving the Filipino people, SM has extended promotional assistance to the DOH and DepEd by reflecting the BIDA Kid safety reminders on their social media pages with a combined following of over 31M individuals, as well as the LED screens found in their malls.

As children begin to return to their classrooms, Bien Mateo ensures that SM Supermalls “will continue to work together with the government to reboot the system and get back on track. It could take time, but we believe that our collaboration and concerted efforts will lead us to a safer, better normal for everyone.”
